Does anyone else have a deisel rhd hilux surf? I have had mine only a month or so and have many questions....

 

hey man...

vancouver BC or WA? if bc..then there are a crap load of people up here with hiluxes. i've wheeled with a couple. one mostly stock, and one quite built w/ dual elockers...

what kinda questions did you have? perhaps i can point you in the right direction as to who to talk to...?

is that your surf in your avatar? looks nice

 

i wish i had one...

 

What is so different between the two?

 

Hiluxes (well really all toyota trucks and 4runners up to 95 were hiluxes, cept the US and Canada didn't call them that)

The imports canada is getting are diesel 2L-T (2.4 turbo) or 3L (NA 2.8)
and RHD, I'm not sure but some of the Hilux trucks upto 1992? are still solid axle which is kinda cool. I'm salivating over a double cab 2.8 diesel solid axle 1991 with a ray hall turbo kit. But for 17000 CDn I don't think it justifies selling the 22RTE. And they're not cheap.

Hilux surf=4runner
Mmmmmmm Hilux double cab

here are the 2 hiluxes i wheel with...





the 2nd one has TG setup, 35's, and double E-locked. 1st one is stock save for ARB bullbar/snorkel, BFG AT's, and an M8000

they're both super nice trucks, ultra capable modded & stock, and cant beat their versatility.

 

puuuurdy...
doubledown: ya im in vancouver bc - that is my hilux in the pic, its a sweet ride, im having trouble with second gear
i don't have an owners manual so there are probably lots of things that i 'should know' but don't....anything come to mind?

 

that second hilux there is my hilux... i bought it off guamie, the guy that is driving it in that pic. I never saw pics of it before the re-paint and additions of the bumpers and rocksliders. well i'm glad it got painted. thouse sticker are horrible!!



and doubledown (sunny?)... We have met before, when you had your 98 4runner limited, you wheeled with my bro with his 97 4runner limited(jesse), i came out wheeling with you guys way before i got a truck of my own.

Telephone pole?

 

ouch dude! hope you walked away OK from that...what happened? is it going to be fixed? i sure hope ICBC isnt going to T/L it...

 

That looks like it hurt!

I have a question for you Overdrive, what size is your front diff? cause when i get a Hilux front axle i need to know the size so i can buy the right LSD.

 

Evil.Dingo;

well 2002 toyota corolla with my left front tire, truck then veered hard right head on in to a telephone pole.

Doubledown;

i did walk away. six months later still having back issues's. truck is getting fixxed... slowly... like i said it's been 6 months. ICBC wanted to right it off. but with a sacrifice of not getting a bumper and just putting the stock one on. icbc is only paying $18,000 for the damage's. i'll be paying for the rest. it shouldn't be much. just want it back. couldn't just let it go after opnly haveing it for 4 months. no way. and beside's i know for a fact that icbc wanted to write it off for 1. it's right hand drive 2. they could've made quite a bit of money selling it for parts.

Belize off road team;

well my truck use's the factory solid axle. so i believe it is the 8" diff. although i have an e-locker 3rd member from a 98' tacoma it's still a 8" diff. the housing was modified to accept the 3rd member.

I've been thinking about selling my 2000 4runner for a Hilux...lots in my city. Wayy better mileage with diesel fule.

 

yeah but if your runner is a 3.4L v6 don't expect the same power. don't get me wrong i like my diesel but i also have 35's and 5.29 gears. it deffinately lack's go'n up hill. not sure how it is stock though.
